My system sometimes detects a few bitflips per day.
Perhaps you should replace your RAM, or it's a sign that you have a massive source of radiation lurking somewhere?
- inigyou 2mo agoI assumed this is just normal in DDR5 and the reason I only had motherboards with ECC to choose from. I do have quite a lot of it. It wouldn't be the first time engineers pushed something close to the unreliability limit and compensated with a mechanism to make it more reliable.
- ssokolow 2mo ago*nod* I remember an interview with Steve Gibson (author of SpinRite) 10 or 20 years ago where he was talking about how much modern-at-the-time hard drives relied on ECC to reliably achieve higher data densities when it used to be a sign of a drive going bad.
